Jordan Chark is a Postdoc in the CRC project A10 “Doubling and register variation”. 

Her research focuses on the interfaces between formal semantics, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. She uses a number of methodologies to this aim, including formal semantic theory, statistical modeling of experimental and corpus data, as well as game-theoretic approaches.

In November 2024, Chark successfully defended her dissertation written within CRC project A05 (at the Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS)) during the first funding phase of the SFB. The dissertation investigates a case study for modeling meaning-driven variation, looking at the aspectual domain in Icelandic both diachronically and synchronically. Chark argues for a comprehensive approach that simultaneously incorporates language-internal constraints (internal to the grammar) as well as language-external ones (social and situational factors)
